Regulating the Risk of Unemployment offers a systematic comparative
analysis of the recent adaptation of European unemployment
protection systems to increasingly post-industrial labour markets.
These systems were mainly designed and institutionalized in
predominantly industrial economies, characterized by relatively
standardized employment relationships and stable career patterns,
as well as plentiful employment opportunities even for those with
low skills. Over the past two to three decades they have faced the
challenge of an accelerating shift to a primarily service-based
economy, accompanied by demands for greater flexibility in wages
and terms and conditions in low-skill segments of the labour market
as well as pressures to maximise labour force participation given
the more limited potential for productivity-led growth. The book
develops an original framework for analysing adaptive reform in
unemployment protection along three discrete dimensions of
institutional change, which are termed benefit homogenization, risk
re-categorization, and activation. This framework is then used to
structure analysis of twenty years of unemployment protection
reform in twelve European countries. In addition to mapping reforms
along these dimensions, the country studies analyse the political
and institutional factors that have shaped national patterns of
adaptation. Complementary comparative analyses explore the effects
of benefit reforms on the operation of the labour market, assess
evolving patterns of working-age benefit dependency, and examine
the changing role of active labour market policies in the
regulation of the risk of unemployment.
